Attempted Train Robbery.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 1.-W. G. Miller,
a well-known co ommission merchant of this
city, reports an exciting experience with
train robbers at Fort Wayne, last night.
Mr.. Miller was a Pullman passenger on the
through train which left Chicago for the
East at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon OH
the Fort Wayne road. He says that when
the train reached Fort Wayne shortly before
midnight, and while awaiting to change
engines, tough-looking individual came
into the Pullman sleeper soliciting money
for nights lodging. He was not very
successful anG, as he was about to leave
the car, two men heavily armed appeared
at the rear door, and at the same
moment three others. fourishing revolvers,
tried to effect an entrance at the front door.
Their way was blocked by the train
men, and hand-to-hand struggle en-.
sued. Meanwhile the passengers became
panic-strcken and scene of terror pre-
vailed. Cries OF ''robbers" and police"
and the heroic conduct of the trainmen
finally frightened the thieves off, and in the
excitement they made good their escape.
The only damage done was the breaking OF
the glass in one of the doors of the sleeper,
and few minutes later the train proceeded
on its way East, arriving here on time. 1t
is supposed that the ''tough-looklng indi-
vidual' wanted to size up the wallets and
ValuableS of the passengers.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb lit has been a
practice among some Of the insurance COM
panies doing business in the state to have
their annual statement of business printed
and circulated before securing the approval
of the auditor. This year the same was
done, and Auditor Lyons, upon examining
the statements, found it necessary to throw
out of the assets some personal securities
which are prohibited by law, and also re-
jected about one-half of the premium notes
on hand as worthless and refused to con-
slider as assets the notes of the stockholders,
amounting in both eases to quite sum. AS
a result the surplus fund of several COM
panies suffered material change by the
time theaudtor had done with them. There
was wailng and gnashing of teeth. but the

ST. LOUIS, No., Feb. 1.-The Mutual
Life Insurance company, of New York,
having become convinced of the justice of
Mrs. William Wackeries' clam, have dis
missed their appeal to the supreme court
and have paid to her the sum of SS, 900.
This noted case has been awaiting settle
ment for fifteen years. The company has
refused to pay the insurance on Wackeries'
life on the ground that it believed he was
still alive. The action of this company
will make it possible for Mrs. Wackerlies
to collect the amounts of the policies in
other companies which refused payment on
the same ground that the New York COM
pany did. Mrs. Wackerlies has been living
in poverty all these years. but will now be
made comparatively wealthy by payments
of her claims, which will in all amount to
about S25. OOO.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Feb. 1.-The discus
sion of the retaliation bill by congress has
apparently stirred up the residents of the
Dominion OF Canada. A member of the
Dufferin Guards (Eighty-eighth regiment),

Canada in expectation Of war being declared.

At BrantfOrd there are 200 of these vet

ment. he says, is great. and through all of
the lower peninsula the militia is getting in
readiness for active service. The large
number of Canadians who have for years
been making a good living on the Ameri-

put into Senator Haydens hands to carry

back to Winona by private party, acting
in the interest of the liquor dealers or
property holders. for some unknown pur-
pose. The Republican tonight contains
somewhat lengthy article on the affair, in
which an interview with City Attorney
Snow appears. Mr.. Snow says J. w.
Dyckson, ESQ.,, had been to ST. Paul and
secured from Senator Hayden the proposed
new charter, promising to return it by eX-
press. Senator Hayden afterward wrote
Mr.. Snow in regard to it, saying he had not
yet received it back. 1t was surmised that
the object Of bringing it back was to allow
interested parties to scrutiniZe it more
closely than previous opportunity had
allowed them to do. Mr.. Dyckson went to
st. Paul to-day and probably returned the
document.
